Reports are rapidly circling about who will join the next James Bond film. We know that Rami Malek is apparently getting closer to landing the role of the villain; according to Variety, the just-anointed best-actor winner is once again in talks to join Bond 25, working through scheduling issues that initially made him ineligible for the film. The actor is reportedly closing a deal on the role, per sources close to the project.

So . . . does that mean Malek is playing the Shatterhand? It was recently reported that Shatterhand is the working title of the upcoming film, a reference to an alias used by the villainous Ernst Stavro Blofeld—a character portrayed previously by Christoph Waltz, in Spectre. It’s been reported that Waltz is not joining the next installment, making way for a new actor to take over the role of the baddie. Of course, the working title could also be a red herring meant to throw fans off the path, so anything goes, really.

Now, back to the tricky business of casting. Sources also say that Lupita Nyong’o, who was at one point being courted to play the next Bond girl, is no longer able to join the film. The Oscar winner would have been a savvy addition to the franchise, but perhaps her insanely busy schedule got in the way. It has not yet been reported who else is on the Bond girl short list, though there are two lead female roles on the table, Variety notes—including an MI6 agent and an American C.I.A. agent. Maybe Malek’s fellow Oscar winner Olivia Colman could jump in?

Variety is also reporting that Billy Magnussen, our lord of perennial shirtlessness, is currently the top choice to play a key C.I.A. operative in the upcoming film, though a deal has not yet been closed. Magnussen does have a solid 007 connection, though, having worked with Bond 25 director Cary Fukunaga on his Netflix series Maniac. The rest of the cast will be rounded out by returning members Léa Seydoux, Ralph Fiennes, and Naomie Harris. Oh, and, you know, Daniel Craig. Bond 25—Shatterhand, if that’s your ticket—will hit theaters on April 8, 2020.
